| Overview |
|
OrbView imagery is a fine resolution
remotely sensed product available to the public through GeoEye. The OrbView-3 satellite and sensor acquires in either multispectral
or panchromatic mode. While most OrbView-3 imagery requires payment, this collection was made available for free redistribution by
OrbImage to help assist the December 2004 Tsunami recovery. This collection reflects collaboration between the GLCF, the conservation
community and the remote sensing industry for some of the protected areas that were directly affected by the December 2004 tsunami.
